Not sure I'd agree with any study saying it is physically addictive, habitually I'd agree.

My point on the sugar though is it certainly does create addiction. It's in so many things even products like jerky. I know lots of other things get broken down into sugar which is also the point. We would do far better without all the added sugar. It's what creates future diabetics in the first place. There is so much fake healthy foods it's ridiculous. Like...Wheat bread!? All sugar, better off with white if your gonna bother with bread. You're body should be running off fat not sugar. People on keto for example can lower their cholesterol immensely vs the doctor recommend way. I'm just having trouble concerning the different between chemical ladden cigarettes vs shit that is available in stores. Now the one thing that I see a negative for weed is that it is a stimulant. Increases in heart rates could be an issue in older folks, for a potentially greater risk of heart attacks.

I just figured if you're trying to avoid google then using their own browser might have some risk too. But I don't know for sure if they still able to track anything you do on an alternative search website.

There are already programs. Run by a government that obviously can't help. We don't need to share our wealth, if we were provided wealth through real jobs. With a paycheck to buy whatever it is you need and be able to save. Less taxes, less inflation. It's the government chopping your wealth at your knees too "feed" other people will only make it harder to become financially well set for your chosen life style.

It's not chemically addictive. Honestly people should really pointing fingers at smokers. Majority who smoke know the risks. Sugar is far more dangerous yet and they add it to everything. Weed on the other hand can help the majority with far less side effects then prescription pills. I'd take an edible or spray any day. Although it is far more fun to use a bong.

Good meme but honestly when do you see an angry smoker? Even if he breaks his piece, worst that happens is a bummed high.

Air BNBs all the way! I just got back from one in NC mountains. We rented a lodge right next to a river with a cow pasture literally next to the house. Besides a washer and dryer...It had a hammock, fire pit, grill, farm fresh eggs, sweets from a local bakery, plus milk and orange juice and a stocked coffee bar. Then there was also a basket of decent snacks.

The Airbnb before had the same attention to detail but much smaller. They owned most land near the house so they built 2 little cabins near them to rent. This one came with a "free" bottle of whiskey. It also had a Blackstone and fire pit as well.

All hotels offer is the same shitty breakfast foods and coffee. Much rather be enjoying my vacation even if we wanted to spend half the day home at an Airbnb. Can't beat the perks. Just need to do your homework, not all Airbnb's are shitty rented side rooms. For the last 5 years my extended family and I had rented several houses big enough for the 9 of us. All with plenty to do around the house when you need a break from driving, hiking, restaurants and shopping.

Sounds like some great beans! Gonna have to order some but I have never roasted before. Though since joining this sub, I kinda want to give it a go. Have you tried any of their pre-roasted?

Yup, honestly haven't seen much difference at all when I switched a few years ago. But thanks to this post I learned about SearX. Gonna give that try now. Curious though if using a browser like Chrome for example, would make it a pointless? That's what drew me to duck since they have their own app.

True, though between my wife and I, we do to much of our shopping on there. Which I know is WORSE. Love to ditch that too but that is gonna be a slower progress to ditching then Netflix. Their history of cancelling shows and prices hikes makes it easier.

Oh wow, I see what you mean. Love Bradbury. I got the Illustrated Man with that short in it.

Wouldn't the apps you use track anyway? For example would it be pointless to use searX on an app like chrome, firefox or duck?
